Adaptation Decay 12: Pac-Man Fever
You can't help but feel a little bad for Buckner and Garcia. They wrote a fun song about an arcade game they liked, and ended up being forever branded as a novelty act and a one-hit wonder. The record label railroaded them into making an album full of video game songs to take advantage of the popularity of their single, "Pac-Man Fever". What they ended up creating was a very strange beast: full of overly literal lyrics about gameplay ...
Exquisite Suffering 33: Crypt Worlds
This episode solidifies an axiom for Abject Suffering episodes: the funnier a game is trying to be, the more serious the episode will end up. Crypt Worlds is a 2013 anti-game that's chock full of surreal imagery and weird-Twitter-like writing. It's also not bad, but we have questions about what it's trying to accomplish... and how effectively it's accomplishing it.
Monster in My Podcast: Squid, Giant
A group of intelligent squids is called an ink tank.
Radio Free Mid-World 27: Wizard and Glass, "Susan (Part 1)"
Autumn and Jeremy Greer join me for an episode that begins a flashback to Roland's first adventure as a gunslinger. He, Alain, and Cuthbert venture to the town of Hambry in the eastern barony of Mejis for protection... but instead find themselves in the grips of a larger plot and greater danger. This chapter introduces us to Susan, Rhea, and the Big Coffin Hunters.

Kids will go crazy for these ugly spheres... for boys!
Monster in My Podcast: Sprite
Oh, how the children danced.

Watch Out for Fireballs! 174: Thimbleweed Park
We're unabashed in our love of Maniac Mansion and other early LucasArts adventure games. So it shouldn't be a surprise that we jumped all over the Thimbleweed Park Kickstarter when it was announced. And we were right to do so, because Ron Gilbert, Gary Winnick, and company have made something truly great in Thimbleweed Park. It feels right at home with those older games, but has a level of complexity and care that makes it feel very moder...
Monster in My Podcast: Sphinx
Stupid, sexist trash.
Those Damn Ross Kids 215: Write It Down
Kris and Kole talk about advancements in technical culture, Tom Petty's subscription services, and chastity.ALSO: The screen keeps rotating. Nobody types. Cancel Tom Petty’s Pantry subscription.

Days of Future Cast 29: The Derail
Time for some time travel shenanigans! We're covering One Man's Worth part 1 and 2, and talking a lot about random things on the internet because these episodes repeat a lot of scenes. Time travel, y'all!Links:List of planned cities - WikipediaVore Me Greer on Twitter: "@Mai_Sinclair @BadDuder https://t.co/h2ihwYii0m"
Monster in My Podcast: Snake, Winged
Let's talk about angry belts that don't like the ground.
Watch Out for Fireballs! 173: Transistor
Gary and Kole load up Transistor and break their way through it, having a very good time in the process. Transistor is still new enough to be a little controversial. People came to it from Bastion, the previous Supergiant game, and didn't know what to make of its semi-turn-based combat and technical aesthetic. If you can reconfigure your expectations, you'll find a game that allows for an absurd degree of player expression through combat ...

Exquisite Suffering 32: Little Nicky
When there's no more room in hell, Harvey Keitel will fall apart and Jon Lovitz will masturbate in a tree. Little Nicky isn't just a singularly unpleasant movie, it's a completely inexplicable GameBoy Color game. Listen in to hear us talk about its platforming, its mini-games, and the physiological effects of shooting arrows from private places.

Monster in My Podcast: Skeleton, Giant
Deceptively named. It's not the skeleton of a giant, but a skeleton that was MADE giant.
File Under Water 20: Finale
It's the end of the show as we know it (and we feel fine). This has been a great deal of fun, revisiting one of our favorite bands and thinking long and hard about what makes them special. We found new favorite songs and learned about the lives and stories of some truly great artists.This finale is a variety episode. We answer a few letters, name our favorite songs from R.E.M.'s catalog, and even bring you a special surprise... but you ha...
